Commercial ice machines are ubiquitous in the food service industry, and for good reason too. Used for everything from water to soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, salad bars, school cafeterias, event catering and more, ice makers are an integral component to any successful food service operation. As necessary as you know ice is to your business, the initial cost of commercial ice makers can be a tough one to swallow. Lucky for you, we feature a variety of ice machines from the industry's leading brands like Manitowoc, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic and more so you can find the right ice machine for your commercial kitchen.
Unlike the ice maker in your home, commercial ice makers come in a variety of units to suit your specific needs. If space is tight, consider an undercounter ice machine which fits snugly beneath your work table. Many ice machines also come in a variety of configurable units, allowing you to choose your ice machine/compressor type (air-cooled, water-cooled or remote-cooled) and ice storage bin. These customization options are ideal when you need specific equipment tailored to your needs. Or, if you're looking to save some change, try shopping ice machine and bin combination units, which is an easy way to check off this big kitchen must-have right off the list. Other commercial ice makers include countertop ice machines (great for quickly dispensing ice for drinks) and hotel ice machines (these feature a unique chute-dispensing design).
The first thing you'll notice with commercial ice makers is that each specialize in a different type of ice—and to make matters more confusing, many manufacturers like to come up with clever new ice names too. From full cube ice (also known as regular cube or whole dice) to nugget, half cube, flaked ice and even gourmet ice, there are a variety of ice types to suit various applications and palates. For example, you'll probably see nugget ice (also known as pearl, cubelet, gem, etc.) used in soft drinks, while flaked ice (also known as shaved ice) is easy to mold, making it perfect for salad bars and seafood displays. Those behind the bar might be more inclined to get a full cube ice maker to give customers that satisfying "clink" in drinks served on the rocks. For more about different ice types, check out our Commercial Ice Machine Buying Guide!
Once you've determined what ice type you want from your commercial ice maker, consider the quantity you need for service. You might think bigger is better when it comes to a commercial ice machines—wrong. Too little ice and you won't have enough for service, but too much leftover (and wasted) ice in your bin can contribute to bacteria and mold growth (an inspection no-no). You want to size your ice machine appropriately to the volume of your business. For example, the ice required for hotel guests greatly differs from that of a restaurant with a bustling bar. And when considering ice quantity and size, don't forget to consider the actual physical size of the unit. Nothing's worse than picking out the perfect machine and having it delivered, only to find out it doesn't fit in your space!
Purchasing a commercial ice machine is a big investment, so be sure to protect that investment by stocking up on the appropriate ice maker parts, like water filters. Ice machine water filters are just what you need to help remove the harmful contaminants from your water. Not only will you have better tasting ice, but you'll extend the life of your commercial ice machine by preventing minerals from building up within the interior tubing. Keep in mind that ice machine water filters should typically be changed every 6 months or so depending on your geographic region—and don't delay! Changing the water filter is one of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to get the most out of your ice machine.
We also stock all of the ice maker accessories you need, like ice scoops. You'd be surprised at how many establishments still use pint glasses to serve up ice. Not only does this almost guarantee cross contamination, but it's a surefire way to get setup for a fine from your health inspector. Be cool, and just say no to the pint glass ice scoop substitute.

LACMA is a great place to buy gifts for the holidays. I know because it's always my go-to spot (last year, my holiday gifts were mostly our plastic travel cups and leather journals). Our shops have great ideas for holiday gift giving for everyone on your list.
One of the best times to do your holiday shopping is this weekend during our Member Shopping Days (if you aren't a member, you can join today to get the discounts). As a special thank you, all members get up to 30% off purchases, free gift wrapping, and more throughout the weekend.
One of the most common things I hear when people come out of our exhibition California Design, 1930–1965: Living in a Modern Way is "I want to buy everything." We have lots of beautiful items for sale in conjunction with the exhibition—perfect for any mid-century modern design lover.
Strand Scarf, 2011 is a limited edition work of 150 based on an original textile design by Bernard Kester.
Andrea Bernstein from Millworks created graphic textiles and totes that are available exclusively at LACMA during California Design. Andrea's products are created entirely in California and some of the prints are also available as stretched art.
Many Arts & Architecture magazine covers can be seen throughout the California Design exhibition. We have quite a few available as prints in our shop including a special Gerald Ratto limited-edition signed print. These look great as a series or on their own.
For kids or kids at heart, we have the very first Barbie® doll from 1959 which was recreated in loving detail to commemorate California Design—down to the foot holes made for the original doll stand. As was said in a previous post on the iconic doll's association with the exhibition, "Barbie embodies the carefree confidence and utter versatility that characterized postwar California."
Make sure to check out our Art Catalogues shop which features great current and out-of-print catalogues and books on contemporary art. You can view a selection in the online shop or spend time browsing the shelves onsite.
LACMA always has numerous options for stocking stuffers, including watercolor pencils, magnets, erasers, cards, and more. Happy shopping!

Quick Sort
November 3, 2009
Quick sort was invented by Sir Charles Antony Richard "Tony" Hoare, a British computer scientist and winner of the 1980 Turing Award, in 1960, while he was a visiting student at Moscow State University. Though it has an annoying quadratic worst-case performance, quick sort has expected O(n log n) performance and is significantly faster in practice than most other O(n log n) sorting algorithms, and it is possible to arrange that the worst-case performance almost never happens for real-world data.
Quick sort works as follows: First, an element, called the pivot, is chosen from the array. Then the array is partitioned around the pivot by reordering the array so that all elements less than the pivot come before it and all items greater than the pivot come after it; this puts the pivot element in its final position in the array. Finally, quick sort is called recursively on the less-than and greater-than partitions; the base of the recursion is arrays of zero or one element.
There are many ways to choose the pivot element. Some algorithms choose the first element of the array, or the last; others choose the median of three elements (first, middle, last). Our preference is to choose an element at random, since that virtually eliminates the possibility of quadratic performance (unless there is collusion between the random-number generator and the data).
Likewise, there are many ways to perform the partitioning. One approach, due to Nick Lomuto, uses a single pointer to run through the sub-array, swapping the current element for the last element of the sub-array, which is then decremented, if it is greater than the pivot. Another approach uses two pointers that approach each other, swapping elements when the two pointers cross over the pivot element. Lomuto's partition is simpler; dual pointers is quicker, but the details are hard to get right.
Your task is to write a function that sorts an array using the quick sort algorithm, using the conventions of a previous exercise. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

Quicky python solution:
def qsort(A):
if (len(A) < 2):
return A
return qsort(filter(lambda x: x A[0], A[1:]))

Whoops messed up the formatting.
Quicky python solution:
def qsort(A): if (len(A) < 2): return A else: return qsort(filter(lambda x: x <= A[0], A[1:])) + [A[0]] + qsort(filter(lambda x: x > A[0], A[1:]))

Ongoing experimentations in C. I'd implemented an integer version of this a few months ago, and I just went back and generalized it now I've learned how function pointers and (void *) passing works.
static int swap(void *el1, void *el2, int elemSize) { void *buffer; buffer = (void *)malloc(elemSize * sizeof(char)); assert(buffer); memcpy(buffer, el1, elemSize); memcpy(el1, el2, elemSize); memcpy(el2, buffer, elemSize); free(buffer); } static int partition(void *base, int length, int elemSize, void *pivot, int (*cmpFunc)(void *, void *)) { int i, newIndex; void *elt1, *elt2, *lastElt; lastElt = (char *)base + (length - 1) * elemSize; swap(pivot, lastElt, elemSize); //Move the pivot out of the way newIndex = 0; elt1 = base; for (i = 0; i < length - 1; i++) { //We're storing the pivot at the end!!! elt2 = (char *)base + i * elemSize; if (cmpFunc(lastElt, elt2) < 0) { swap(elt1, elt2, elemSize); newIndex++; elt1 = (char*)base + newIndex * elemSize; } } /*Now we only need to re-insert the pivot (which we've stored at lastElt) *in the array at the proper index *With the numbering used, newIndex is now the index of the first element *"larger" than the pivot *elt1 is still the array element of index newIndex*/ swap(lastElt, elt1, elemSize); return newIndex; } int quisort(void *base, int length, int elemSize, int (*cmpFunc)(void *, void *)) { int pivotNewIndex; void *pivot, *base2; if (length > 1) { srand(time(0)); pivot = (char *)base + (rand() % length) * elemSize; pivotNewIndex = partition(base, length, elemSize, pivot, cmpFunc); base2 = (char *)base + (pivotNewIndex + 1) * elemSize; quisort(base, pivotNewIndex, elemSize, cmpFunc); quisort(base2, length - pivotNewIndex - 1, elemSize, cmpFunc); } return 0; }

generating random every is very costly and slows down the algorithm considerably.
I have used the median of three elements instead.
Here is my c implementation
#include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #define M 10 void insertion_sort(int arr[], int left, int right); static void swap(int arr[], int i, int j); static int partition(int arr[], int left, int right); static void quicksort_imp(int arr[], int left, int right); /* assume presence of two artificial keys arr[0] = -ve infinity and arr[n+1] = +ve infinity such that arr[0] <= arr[i] <= arr[n+1] for 1 <= i <= n */ void quicksort(int arr[], int left, int right) { /* if array size is small or equal to M than sort it directly by straight insertion sort */ if((right-left-1) > M) quicksort_imp(arr, left+1, right-1); if(M > 1) insertion_sort(arr, left+1, right-1); } static void quicksort_imp(int arr[], int left, int right) { int pivot, mid; /* select pivot element */ mid = (left + right)/2; pivot = (left + mid + right)/3; /* swap pivot element with the first element */ swap(arr, left, pivot); /* partition the array */ pivot = partition(arr, left, right); /* right subfile is greater than or equal to left subfile and both subfiles are greater than M */ if((right - pivot) >= (pivot - left) && (right - pivot) > M && (pivot - left) > M) { /* sort the smaller subfile first to ensure that the stack size doesn't grow more than log N */ quicksort_imp(arr, left, pivot-1); quicksort_imp(arr, pivot+1, right); } /* left subfile is greater than right subfile and also both subfiles are greater than M */ if((pivot - left) > (right - pivot) && (right - pivot) > M && (pivot - left) > M) { /* sort the smaller subfile first to ensure that the stack size doesn't grow more than log N */ quicksort_imp(arr, pivot+1, right); quicksort_imp(arr, left, pivot-1); } /* right subfile is greater than left subfile, right subfile is greater than M and left subfiles is less than or equal to M */ if((right - pivot) > (pivot - left) && (right - pivot) > M && (pivot - left) <= M) { quicksort_imp(arr, pivot+1, right); } /* left subfile is greater than right subfile, left subfile is greater than M and right subfiles is less than or equal to M */ if((pivot - left) > (right - pivot) && (pivot - left) > M && (right - pivot) <= M) { quicksort_imp(arr, left, pivot-1); } /* if both subfile are smaller than M, unwind the stack */ } static int partition(int arr[], int left, int right) { int i, j, key; /* partition the element */ for(i = left, j = right+1, key = arr[left]; ;) { /* compare key with arr[i] */ for(i = i+1; arr[i] < key; i++); /* the loop must terminate with i <= j as arr[j] >= key */ /* compare key with arr[j] */ for(j = j-1; arr[j] > key; j--); /* the loop must terminate with j >= (i-1) as arr[i-1] <= key */ if(j <= i) /* end of partition */ { swap(arr, left, j); break; } swap(arr, i, j); } return j; } void insertion_sort(int arr[], int left, int right) { int i, min; /* move smallest key to left end */ for(i = left+1, min = left; i <= right; i++) if(arr[min] > arr[i]) min = i; swap(arr, left, min); for(i = left+1; i <= right; i++) { int j, key; for(j = i-1, key = arr[i]; arr[j] > key; j--) arr[j+1] = arr[j]; arr[j+1] = key; } } static void swap(int arr[], int i, int j) { int t; t = arr[i]; arr[i] = arr[j]; arr[j] = t; }

"Art, Rocks!" Old Garden Beach Rockport, Ma
Stopped at The Old Garden Beach Parking lot on a beautiful weekend day a couple of weeks back. I just came from Pebble beach to pick up a few canvas' and decided to sketch the scene before me. I left it in an obvious spot to be found. I went back the next week and it was gone. I haven't got a report back yet. We'll see what happens. Maybe they threw back into the Sea.

Ask Matt: Homeland, Dick Clark, Larry Hagman, Glee, Dexter and More
Send questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com and follow me on Twitter!
Question: I've been a fan of Homeland since before the pilot even came out. I don't live a day without at least thinking about Homeland once. Even last week's episode, which was heavily criticized, coerced me to suspend my disbelief on some dangling plot devices due primarily to the deliciously long-awaited meeting of Carrie and her mortal enemy Abu Nazir. And yet, while this season has largely been about Brody's allegiances and double missions, the series for me has always been about Carrie Mathison and Claire Danes. Her character was developed in Season 1 meticulously and effectively and yet I feel none of that in Season 2. The only real story that I feel coming from Carrie is her love for Brody, which I feel (even though the chemistry between Claire Danes and Damian Lewis is electrifying and amazing) has become rather stale. Carrie seems weak to me, and so I ask: Do you feel the same way? Is it because Carrie is no longer a part of the CIA anymore? Is it just because Claire Danes is pregnant? I just always felt as though Carrie's love for Brody shouldn't define her as a character, and yet I feel it's the only storyline she has.
My other question is completely random. At the start of Season 2, the characters of Vice President Walden, Abu Nazir and Virgil were all promoted to series regulars, and yet I'm confused as to why. Walden was in more episodes last season than this season, and now it appears he's no longer going to be on the show. (RIP, kinda.) And Abu Nazir has only made appearances on about three or four of the episodes, and even though my roommate keeps insisting Nazir was made a series regular because he's the central series antagonist and he's always mentioned, that doesn't mean he had to be promoted to series regular. It seems as though only Virgil's presence could be worthy of series regular status, and even his and Carrie's friendship dynamic seems to have diminished under the more obvious plotlines. Do you know why they were promoted to series regulars? Does winning the Emmy have to do anything with it? - Joey
Matt Roush: Let's start with Carrie. There's much more going on with her than just being a lovesick and unstable loose cannon. Her mad infatuation with Brody is inextricably woven with her reckless zeal to take down Abu Nazir and her preternatural gut instincts where he's involved - as we saw in this Sunday's penultimate episode. The twisted love story is what helps set Homeland apart from other TV thrillers, but I'd hardly say that's all that defines Carrie. As for the other actors who appear in the title credits, some of that is no doubt contractual, but it also reflects the fact that while they may not be central to every episode, these players were essential to the central narrative of the season (David Marciano's Virgil probably least of all in that regard). By now we know that Jamey Sheridan (Walden) and Navid Negahban (Abu Nazir) won't be featured in next season's credits - unless it's heavy on flashbacks or ghosts - but for this season, I saw no problem with that. It's actually preferable than having them appear in the credits only when they show up, as that could tip off spoilers in that week's plot.

Question: I've been watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve since I was 10, and I'm 36. Every New Year's Eve I've always looked forward to seeing Dick Clark ring in the new year. Now that he has died, what will happen to Rockin' Eve? - Michael L.
Matt Roush: For the foreseeable future, as long as there's a New Year's Eve, there will be a Rockin' Eve to help us celebrate. That's just one of many TV legacies for which we can give thanks to Dick Clark. As you may have noticed, in the years since his stroke the show has been carrying on (with salutations from Dick) under the somewhat cumbersome title Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest, as Seacrest took up the mantle from his idol and mentor. There's no reason to think this won't continue for years to come, but whether or for how long Clark's name will remain part of the title remains to be seen. As far as I'm concerned, it will always be his show.
Question: I was sad to hear about the death of Larry Hagman. I always loved his work on Dallas and I Dream Of Jeannie. I've read that the producers of the new Dallas are going to continue with the show, despite Hagman's death. While some fans may not like this, I'm actually OK with this decision. I think if the producers were to have Patrick Duffy and Ken Kercheval's characters battle it out, I think the show could still work. In this scenario you would still have the Ewing vs. Barnes rivalry, and I think both Duffy and Kercheval are talented enough that they could make this work. What do you think? - Allan
Matt Roush: I couldn't help but notice that in your scenario, you make no mention of the cast's younger generation - a sign of just how much the old guard dominated this show's reboot. Losing Larry Hagman and J.R. will leave an enormous hole at the heart of Dallas, but they have no choice but to carry on, if for no other reason than as an homage to the iconic star and character. The challenge will be how to introduce this tragic event within the ongoing storyline, showing reverence toward Hagman while celebrating the outrageously irreverent cad that was J.R. without coming off as tacky or exploitive. (Not that Hagman would likely mind so long as they all remember how much fun it was to have him around as they go on with the show.)
Question: I'm watching Glee again this season as I have the entire series. Snarky and silly has made it very entertaining. However, as a fella who usually watches crime shows, when are they finally going to kill off Rachel and Kurt? Can we see NYADA go under with the economy or simply explode? Rachel just won a contest and Kurt finally got in to the school, so let that be the last of 'em. Glee is getting to be like watching two different shows that flip back and forth during the same time slot - one that I enjoy and one that I don't. Because of this, the one I enjoy at the high school is becoming choppy and slow. Is there an explosion coming or should I move on? - Perry
Matt Roush: Sorry, Perry, if the mail I've been getting most of this season is any indication, you're in the minority in preferring the high-school action (which can seem awfully derivative) over the New York subplots. If anything is in danger of imploding, it's McKinley High. But there's no question the experience of watching Glee is unusual this season, with so much cross-cutting between what might have been a spinoff and what's happening back in Ohio. Not to mention the repeated return appearances by characters who by all logic should have moved on for good by now. Read on for a more typical reaction (in my mailbag anyway) to Glee these days.
Question: I am very glad I record Glee, because I can then fast-forward through any part of the high-school storyline (except for the performances) and get to the New York stories. Rachel's and Kurt's performances last week took my breath away. If Lea Michele is not cast as the next Fanny Brice in the revival of Funny Girl, someone is not paying attention. There are spin-offs of many shows: NCIS, CSI, so why not Glee: NY? Do you think the New York story line is popular enough for Ryan Murphy to consider a spinoff? I can barely watch the high-school parts of Glee, but love the New York part of the show. Whoopi Goldberg, Kate Hudson and especially Sarah Jessica Parker are terrific and maybe a few seniors could eventually join them. I am pretty much over Glee but very much into what happens to Rachel and Kurt on their journey to stardom. - Sharon
Matt Roush: I had the same Funny Girl thought watching Rachel in her showcase performance. Not for the first time, of course, and to think anyone even tried to bring a revival of that show to Broadway without Lea Michele is just loony tunes. Back to Glee.Among the problems with giving this show an actual spinoff: Fox's real estate is awfully limited, and Glee isn't the powerhouse it used to be, so it's hard to imagine a lineup where there would be two hours devoted to Glee-related content during the week. (Although if it could have spared us The Mob Doctor...) Since the New York storylines seem to be so well received, maybe there will be a way to structure the series in the future with more entire episodes or arcs devoted to what's happening in New York (with "glee" as a metaphor for chasing one's musical dreams), with the high-school stories getting their own self-contained hours. Or maybe Glee will just evolve into something entirely different. This was always going to be a season of significant transition for Glee, and where it goes next is ripe for speculation.
Question: I am so much into this season of Dexter! Not since the season with John Lithgow have I appreciated every episode. With all of Dexter's past killings catching up to him with Maria's investigation, along with his relationship with Hannah and obviously Debra, all of these conflicts surrounding him makes me wonder what the final episodes will bring! I remember reading a while back before this season started that the producers mentioned that next season will be the last. With Breaking Bad coming to a close next year (my top three favorites including this show and Homeland), please tell me this is not true!! - Mike M
Matt Roush: In this case, I'd be happy to see good old/bad old Dex quit while he's ahead. This has been a wonderful season for Dexter, especially with all of the psychological drama between Dex and Deb, Dex and Hannah, Hannah and Deb, a strong enough comeback to merit inclusion in my year-end top-10 list, something I wouldn't have dreamed possible a year ago. It's going to be hard to top, and especially with LaGuerta's investigation adding to the sense that Dexter's time of operating in the shadows is nearing its end, I would be at peace if the show holds to its announced plan to construct an end game for next season, making the eighth year the last. That's the scenario for now as far as I know, but there's always a chance because of the warm reception it's been getting lately, they could change their mind and try to milk it a bit longer. But I hope not.
Question: With the excellent fourth season that The Good Wife is having, do you think it will get back into the Emmy drama series race (taking Boardwalk Empire's spot)? - Donald
Matt Roush: It certainly deserves to. The misbegotten Nick/Kalinda storyline aside - which thankfully appears to be history now - this has been another terrific run of episodes, a wonderful fusion of the political, procedural and personal, network TV drama at its best and starriest. For The Good Wife to have fallen off the list of top dramas even temporarily was a shameful lack of judgment on the part of the Emmy voters. There may be new dramas ahead in the midseason (on cable anyway) which could threaten Wife's standing in the nominations next summer, but I would certainly be unhappy if the uneven Boardwalk got a rote nomination in favor of this gem.
Question: Any Emmy buzz for Jack Huston as Richard Harrow on Boardwalk Empire? I know you weren't the biggest fan of the show this season, but I find Huston's performance stunning. Every time he takes the screen - whether it's romancing under the boardwalk or ruthlessly shooting up gangsters at Gillian's - I can't help but watch and cheer for him. He's come so far along from the guy ready to kill himself in the woods. If not an Emmy for him, would any of the other Boardwalk cast be contenders this year? - Danielle
Matt Roush: I'm sure there will be buzz, and deservedly so. He is one of the few engaging characters left on the series, and this season gave Huston a chance to shine in both of Richard's guises: as a tragic/romantic figure and as a stone-cold killer (the massacre at Gillian's was a remarkable set piece). But the competition in the ranks of supporting drama actors is always fierce, and his performance, while haunting, is also so quiet and contained (even when he's being a one-man army) that it may be overlooked. In terms of likely nominees, while I'm over Nucky and find him a less compelling figure by the season, Steve Buscemi being the high-profile star of an HBO series always makes him a contender. And while I mostly found this season's villain Gyp Rosetti to be laughably cartoonish, there's no doubt that Bobby Cannavale fully committed to playing this psycho fearlessly in a huge (possibly too huge) performance, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's singled out this year.
Question: Do you think NBC giving Law & Order: SVU two more episodes has anything to do with this season maybe being its last? Maybe NBC is giving it two more episodes to wrap things up? With Revolution doing well, Chicago Fire's ratings going up, plus two new dramas (Deception and Do No Harm) yet to premiere, NBC may have less holes to fill come next fall. - Sam
Matt Roush: Those are all some pretty big maybes, because most observers are expecting NBC to take quite a hit in the new year, with the NFL season ending and The Voice MIA until March. I wouldn't read much into this expanded episode order - which also spurred questions in my mailbag once again about a possible new Law & Order spinoff (which I still feel is unlikely, but who knows) - although the one thing that seems clear is that NBC is happy with more, and not less, of this series. It's not the power player it used to be, but there's still value in having something with a following airing on NBC's dead-zone Wednesday lineup. (I'm not convinced Chicago Fire is a long-term player. Again, the midseason will tell.) I'm not aware of any move toward shuttering SVU after this season, and would be surprised if it weren't back next year.
Question: What have you thought about the second season of American Horror Story? I remember you were not that fond of the first season. Although Jessica Lange continues to be fabulous, we've lost interest in the show this year. It went from "must see" to "no see" TV. Are you still following the show? - Rob
Matt Roush: I'm enjoying Lily Rabe as lasciviously possessed Sister Mary Eunice even more than Lange's tormented Sister Jude, but as a whole, I still find the show to be a hodgepodge of lurid nonsense, and I'm almost never scared or even surprised by what happens, because it's all so "anything goes." I certainly never feel the sense of impending dread and terror that comes from even the weakest episodes of The Walking Dead, which for me is TV's true American horror story. That said, I am more intrigued by this Asylum season, in part because it's set in the '60s, which gives it more texture, especially as it involves the mores and prejudices of the times (against interracial and same-sex relationships). I almost find myself caring what's going to happen next to the falsely imprisoned Lana and Kit as they seek escape from the various nut jobs and monsters on the loose in the madhouse - which itself is a more novel and unnerving setting than last year's ridiculously overpopulated haunted house.
Question: Thank you so much for all your columns over the years. I have enjoyed many series that I never would have tuned into if it weren't for your recommendations. Forgive me if I write only as another exasperated TV viewer who is sick of the networks and their short attention spans. I have just spent the last hour absolutely riveted to the "Cinderella Liberty" episode of Last Resort and can't believe this series has been cancelled. I'm pretty old and have watched a lot of TV in my time, and this series has some top-quality storytelling going on, not to mention a great cast. Can't believe more people haven't tuned in, but why can't they give it a little more time? I know the answer, pure economics, but it's frustrating all the same. Its replacement will probably be another Bachelorette (gag) series. Sorry to be so whiny, but thank you for the opportunity to vent! - Susan
Matt Roush: Thank you for those kind words. And while I don't want to beat this dead horse for too much longer, I couldn't agree more about Last Resort, especially after last week's episode. It's not perfect, but it's exciting and exotic and so different from anything else on TV that I can't help but think ABC is being particularly short-sighted with this cancellation. Especially in light of what's taking its place in February: a conspiracy thriller called Zero Hour, which when I screened it this summer felt like The DaVinci Code-for-dummies. If Last Resort couldn't attract a big enough audience in this tough time period, how will an even more convoluted and poorly executed show fare?
Question: I understand that TV viewership declines during the holidays, but is that because all the shows go on hiatus or are people that busy? It is still weeks until Christmas, but shows are already in reruns or replaced by some special and won't return until way into the new year. I celebrate Christmas like everyone else, but this is just a regular work week when I want to relax in front of my TV in the evenings. Is this dead period getting longer or am I just a scrooge? - DB
Matt Roush: I have noticed more shows making a bigger deal of their "fall finales" this year, and a handful of series did take an early exit, but maybe it's because I keep track of so many shows, including various reality competitions, that I'm actually a bit surprised by how many originals are still airing this close to Christmas. Last Thursday and this Thursday, for example, I don't think there's a single repeat among the glut of major network shows. Plenty of cable series are still going strong for the next few weeks, and I recently realized that Fox has scheduled a new Fringe for Dec. 21. I guess they figure they don't have anything to lose at this point. (And much as I love the show, I will have started my own hiatus by that time and will have to catch up later.) It is true that viewing levels tend to go down this time of year as people get busy preparing for and celebrating the holidays, and networks risk a lesser return by airing new episodes during this time, but the upside of any show going into hibernation early means that you'll get fewer repeats later in the season. So think of it as a time-delayed gift.

The alleged Colorado movie theater gunman made a court appearance today, giving the world the first look at the 24-year-old's flaming red and orange hair. During the hearing, several relatives and friends of the victims sat in the front rows of the courtroom, among them were Tom Teves, whose son Alex, died in Friday's shooting rampage. "I wanted to see what he looks like," Mr. Teves told Anderson tonight on 360. "He doesn't look like much," he added.
Mr. Teves went on to say, "It's not about him. I just wanted to see him and I wanted to see there's people who care and aren't afraid of him."
Mr. Teves is urging everyone to focus only on the victims, not the alleged gunman.
"Alex was all about life," said his father. "He just wanted to help people."
The 24-year-old earned a master's degree in counseling psychology at the University of Denver in June.
That's where he met his girlfriend, Amanda Lindgren. Alex shielded her from the bullets in theater 9.
She told Anderson that Alex saved her life. "With every ounce of my being he did, I wouldn't be here without him."
Ryan Cooper was Alex's friend for 10 years. "He was my best friend, but saying friend almost doesn't even do it justice. He really was like the other part of me."
Amanda, Mr. Teves and Ryan all talked with Anderson about their loss and how they want everyone to remember a life cut too short.
"It's not even about what drew me to him, it's about what drew everybody to him," Ryan said.

God Bless Alex for sparing his precious soul to selflessly save anothers. I know that Heavenly Father is well pleased with him. My heart and prayers go to the broken-hearted family. Mr. Teves is a grieving father, who lost his son and it's so difficult to see. It's every parents nightmare to loose their child. I am so sorry for his families and friends loss.
I worked for Mr Teves. He is a genuine incredibly pasionate man. My heart goes out to him and his family for this truly senceless loss.
It was so heroic that he wanted to save his girlfriend instead of himself. Thanks to him there is a survivour to this horrible act.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families. CNN, please take Mr. Teve's challenge. Perhaps it should even be the Teve's law; no more media images of perpetrators of horrendous crimes. Stop this incessant desire for fame at any cost.
Sending love to the Teves family and those who loved Alex. Yes, let us remember and celebrate Alex's life and refer to his murderer as "the coward" and never by name.
I have not and will not read any article about the perpetrator. I will read about the victims, their stories, and what they choose to share about the attack. The only reason I know the accused shooter's name is due to it being in headlines. He can have all the attention he wants from law enforcement and shrinks. I will give him none.
My heart goes out to this family and all the families who are suffering from this tragic nightmare. I absolutely agree with this man.....we should no longer refer to him as anything but the coward he really is....
Prayers go out to the friends, families & victims of this horrible incident. I hope that networks take this father up on his challenge. He is 100% correct. The victims are who we should be keeping in our thoughts, not that "coward".
I completely agree with Mr.Teves. It is time for the media to back off and stop putting the killers face all over the screen.
They also need to begin letting the victims and there families have there space to heal physically and mentally the best they can. We remember those who lost there lives, those who sacrificed to save others. To there families and loved ones and to those still recovering may God bless and you all find comfort in His love. Thank you.
since he was studding Neuroscience, did anybody wonder what was done to James Holmes as a volunteere at this Neuroscience class? I now that students sometimes volunteer to do the experiments or immunization on them. And they have to sign the papers, can anybody look in to that. Nobody is thinking about that? I am looking at him and that came to me.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

ALA is the largest library conference in the nation. It brings together different librarians from across the country, all in one place. It gives everyone the opportunity to meet new people and network. This is pretty fantastic if you think about it, but for a newbie student or librarian who has never been before, this can be an overwhelming experience. It brings to mind a number of questions about what to do and how to use this experience to network. Luckily, we have paired up a conference n00b, Annie, with conference veteran Lauren, with a question and answer session for some guidance on how to network.
Annie: What can I do before the conference to help me prepare?
Lauren: First, update all of your social networks, especially Twitter and LinkedIn. If you can create an online portfolio, blog, website, or digital business card, do so. Then, create business cards that have a URL of something of yours, even if it's just your LinkedIn page (see our tips for business cards at the end of the post). If you don't already, start connecting with librarians before the conference. Make a list of people you'd like to talk to in person if you have the chance. If you notice people hosting Tweet-ups and other meet-ups, put them on your schedule.
Annie: What is the best way to network if you are shy?
Lauren: I can be very shy, and I am still working on overcoming it for networking purposes, so I am no expert. The best advice I can give you is to just start. If you're using Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to talk to other librarians and library professionals, you're already doing well. If you can equate @ replying someone on Twitter with walking up to a stranger and saying hello, it might be less nervewracking. Most every other person at the conference is there to meet new people, too, and they will almost definitely welcome your introduction or question. The worst thing someone can do is be mean/rude, and clearly they are not worth knowing. So just take a breath, walk up to someone, say hello and introduce yourself. One icebreaker is that you're both already wearing a name tag, so one intro line might be (after the "nice to meet yous") "I noticed you're from Mitch Hedberg University in Portland, OR. I'm very interested in academic libraries. What's your job title? How do you like working there/living in Portland?" You get the gist.
Annie: What if you don't have a smart phone to utilize social networking? Will there be wifi? Is it OK to have laptops?
Lauren: There will be free wifi, at least in the convention center (I assume the hotels for conference purposes will as well). If you don't have a smartphone, it is perfectly acceptable to use an iPad, laptop, netbook, iPod Touch, etc. However, some sessions will be more crowded than others, or simply less spacious, so using a laptop in a session just depends on the room you're in and how comfortable you will be. Also, try to be respectful to the speaker – I know we're sort of expected to tweet, but I still look up and make eye contact, nod, etc.
Annie: Should I stick with other students or explore on my own?
Lauren: You're (and I direct this at all the first-timers, not just Annie) a first timer at a HUGE conference, so of course you're going to want to spend time with fellow students. You may even be tempted to copy your friend's conference schedule the first day and go to every session/lunch together because you're so overwhelmed. However, I would HIGHLY encourage you to step out of your comfort zone in every way possible, and that means attending the sessions you're most interested in, going to lunches with complete strangers – you name it. Try to confront what you're most nervous about being alone – is it being nervous about networking? Not knowing where to go? Keep in mind that you're going to be at a conference with 20,000 of the most helpful people you're ever going to meet – do not be afraid of them, and don't be afraid to ask questions! (especially if you're lost – that's a great networking opportunity 😉 )
Annie: What should I bring to network at the convention center? Phone? Cards?
Lauren: Definitely bring your phone and any other gadgets that you can utilize social networking with (emphasis on Twitter and Foursquare). Bring your gadget chargers so that you can recharge if they die. Also don't forget your business cards, and if you're so inclined, buy a holder for them to store both yours and the ones you will collect from others. Have a pen on you to write on the back of others' business cards (details to remember them by). You can also bring print resumes if you're job hunting.
Annie: How many events/ sessions should I aim for in a day?
Lauren: Listen to your body. If you start at 8 am, then attend a session every hour until 5, you'll be too exhausted to hang out and do fun stuff after (including tweets up and dance parties). Not to mention – the "after" stuff is usually where the most networking happens! If you can, alternate days where you sleep in. Skip a session or two during the day to take a nap or explore the exhibits. But back to networking – alternate between sessions that are purely presentations, and partly or purely social. You have to create your own opportunities to network at ALA, since hypothetically you could go to 8 back-to-back lecture type sessions each day, go out to dinner with your friends, and go back to the hotel, never speaking to a stranger. Just do everything in moderation.
Annie: As a poor graduate student, am I totally missing out if I don't go to any of the sessions or events that cost extra money?
Lauren: I can honestly say I don't know, since I've always been a poor graduate student and have never paid for a single extra session. I have wondered if the networking opportunities are better at these sessions. Can anyone who has attended paid sessions answer this for Annie?
Annie: In the sea of people, how can I make sure someone will remember they met me? Also, I met a cool librarian, what should I do to follow up?
Lauren: Well, you can't guarantee anything (unless you're the lady in the lobster hat I met at SLA – you can always try a schtick!), but you can certainly do your part by following up during or after the conference. I would suggest gathering all of your collected business cards and creating a Google doc spreadsheet with all of their info (that way, you can ditch the cards if needed, since they're harder to keep up with). There are various levels of follow-up – if you just met some cool people you want to keep up with, follow them on Twitter, add on LinkedIn, visit their blog and comment, etc. If you want to do heavier networking, like following up on a possible job lead or asking someone to become your mentor, you might send a more formal email, letting them know how much you enjoyed meeting them, asking them a couple of questions, and thanking them for their time. Really, just do what feels comfortable to you in how you met that person.
Other networking tips:
- We've mentioned Twitter quite a bit. Follow the hashtag #ala11 to read what others are doing, and join in the conversation. You may even see someone asking, "Does anyone want to have lunch with me?" That brings me to my second tip.
- Use meal times for networking! You've got to eat. So does everyone else. If you're at one of the free vendor lunches I mentioned in my ALA '11 Tips and Tricks post, start up a conversation with your fellow tablemates before the demonstration starts. If you're interested in a certain round table, find out if they're hosting any socials. You can search ALA connect and Facebook for these events. Last year I attended the ANSS social and Bites with LIRT. And if you see someone on Twitter asking for a lunch date, go for it!
And finally, for business card advice:
See Erin Dorney's excellent blog post. Here are pictures of my business card from last year and Annie's business card. I went to Vistaprint.com to order mine, and Annie used Moo.com. I also have friends who created their own using templates in MS Word and a printer.
Are you a first-timer with a question for us? We'll try to answer it! And ALA veterans, we'd love to hear your networking tips in the comments!

Vidya Balan, who received the Best Actress National Film Award for her role in 2011 Bollywood hit 'The Dirty Picture', will now play a role to alter the real dirty picture in India. Union Minister of Rural Development Jairam Ramesh has named the Bollywood actress as the brand ambassador in his campaign for improving sanitation [1].
According to India's 2011 census, nearly half of population have no toilet at home, but more people own a mobile phone [2]. There are 2.1 million toilets in India which rely on manual scavengers to empty them [1].
The Minister hopes that Balan can help turn his campaign to end open defecation into a national obsession:
"it is going to be a very serious commitment on her part – she's had a dirty picture in reel life, but this will be a clean picture in real life". [1]
Vidya Balan has agreed to give support to Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan – the restructured version of the Total Sanitation Campaign – for two years [3].
The government is working on increasing the allocation for toilet construction from the current 3,500 Rupees (US$ 65) to 9,900 Rupees (US$ 183) per toilet, of which 5,400 Rupees (US$ 100) would come from the new Total Sanitation Campaign and the remaining 4,500 Rupees (US$ 83) from the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). Minister Jairam Ramesh is requesting 360 billion Rupees (US$ 6.6 billion) for rural sanitation in India's 12th five-year plan, which starts in 2012-2013. [4,5]
The Indian government's ambition is to achieve total rural sanitation coverage by 2017. According to data available up to September 2011, 115.3 million rural households have access to toilets, leaving 40.8 million households without sanitation facilities. A parliamentary standing committee on rural development is sceptical whether all rural areas will be open defecation free by 2017. [6]
Jairam Ramesh is counting on the support of another Bollywood celebrity Shahrukh Khan to join the campaign to end open defecation [7]. Last year the "King of Bollywood" announced he would become a sanitation advocate at the Global Forum on Sanitation and Hygiene in Mumbai [8]. Earlier cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and actor/director Aamir Khan had lent their celebrity power to promote school sanitation and handwashing. Minister Ramesh's dream is to

Implicit Bias in the Courtroom
Posted by The Situationist Staff on March 30, 2012
Situationist Contributor Jerry Kang and his numerous co-authors, Mark Bennett, Devon Carbado, Pamela Casey, Nilanjana Dasgupta, David Faigman, Rachel Godsil, Anthony Greenwald, Justin Levinson, and Jennifer Mnookin, have just posted their important paper, "Implicit Bias in the Courtroom" (forthcoming UCLA Law Review, Vol. 59, No. 5, 2012) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Given the substantial and growing scientific literature on implicit bias, the time has now come to confront a critical question: What, if anything, should we do about implicit bias in the courtroom? The author team comprises legal academics, scientists, researchers, and even a sitting federal judge who seek to answer this question in accordance with "behavioral realism." The Article first provides a succinct scientific introduction to implicit bias, with some important theoretical clarifications that distinguish between explicit, implicit, and structural forms of bias. Next, the article applies the science to two trajectories of bias relevant to the courtroom. One story follows a criminal defendant path; the other story follows a civil employment discrimination path. This application involves not only a focused scientific review but also a step-by-step examination of how criminal and civil trials proceed. Finally, the Article examines various concrete intervention strategies to counter implicit biases for key players in the justice system, such as the judge and jury.

FDA approves drug to treat some obese, overweight adults
Some people who suffer from chronic weight issues may soon get some help from a pill.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Wednesday approved Belviq, or lorcaserin hydrochloride, to be combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, for treatment of chronic weight problems.
Specifically, the FDA says, it is approved for overweight or obese adults who have one or more medical conditions due to their weight, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol.
In trials, 47% of patients without type 2 diabetes lost at least 5% of their body weight. By comparison, 23% of patients treated with placebo lost at least 5% of their weight. In people with type 2 diabetes, 38% of patients on Belviq lost at least 5% of their body weight compared to 16% on placebo, according to the FDA.
"The results overall are quite modest," said Dr. Melina Jampolis, a physician nutrition specialist and CNN's diet and fitness expert. "But most experts agree that even a 5% weight loss has significant implications in terms of reducing the risk of obesity associated diseases including heart disease and diabetes."
The FDA says the manufacturer of Belviq, Arena Pharmaceuticals, will be required to conduct six postmarketing studies, including a long term cardiovascular trial to assess the risk of heart attack and stroke.
CNNMoney: Arena surges on weight loss drug approval
The most common side effects of Belviq in non-diabetic patients include headache, dizziness and fatigue; and in diabetic patients low blood sugar and pain, according to the FDA.

Christians mark Jesus' crucifixion on Good Friday
JERUSALEM (AP) — Hundreds of Christians streamed through the cobblestone alleyways of Jerusalem's Old City on Friday, hoisting wooden crosses and chanting prayers to mark the crucifixion of Jesus.
Throngs of pilgrims walked a traditional Good Friday procession that retraces Jesus' steps along the Via Dolorosa, Latin for the "Way of Suffering." They followed his 14 stations, saying a prayer at each and ending at the ancient Holy Sepulcher church.
Along the route, Franciscan friars in brown robes chanted prayers in Latin and explained the different stations to crowds through a megaphone. Leonard Mary, a priest from Irondale, Alabama, was dressed as Jesus wearing a crown of thorns. He was flanked by men posing as Roman soldiers and had fake blood dripping down his chest as he lugged a giant cross down the street.
"The most perfect love that was ever seen in the world was when Jesus died for us. He showed us the perfection of love," said Mary.
Good Friday events kicked off with a Mass earlier in the morning at the cavernous Holy Sepulcher, which was built on the place where tradition holds Jesus was crucified, briefly entombed and resurrected. Clergy dressed in colorful robes entered through the church's large wooden doors as worshippers prayed in the church courtyard.
Later Friday, a Mass was due in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, built atop the traditional site of Jesus' birth. Christians believe Jesus was crucified on Good Friday and resurrected on Easter Sunday.
Roman Catholic and Protestant congregations that observe the new, Gregorian calendar, mark Easter week this week. Orthodox Christians, who follow the old, Julian calendar, will mark Good Friday in May.
Less than 2 percent of the population of Israel and the Palestinian territories is Christian, mostly split between Catholicism and Orthodox streams of Christianity. Christians in the West Bank wanting to attend services in Jerusalem must obtain permission from Israeli authorities.
Israel's Tourism Ministry said it expects some 150,000 visitors in Israel during Easter week and the Jewish festival of Passover, which coincide this year.

Quebec Spray Foam Insulation – Certified SPF Contractors in Canada
Spray Foam Insulation is simply the best insulation you can install in your Canada home or building in Quebec. It is estimated that up to 40% or more of your home's energy loss is due to air leakage through holes, cracks and gaps in the building structure. SPF can seal your home from air and moisture leakage, save on costly utility bills, strengthen your home, and help to protect your family's health from dangerous mold and airborne pollutants.
Reduce Heating & Cooling Costs In Your Home!
Did you know ?
- Air infiltration can increase energy costs in buildings 10 to 40%.
- SPF reduces air infiltration allowing insulation to be more effective
and reducing the demands on HVAC equipment.
- SPF reduces moisture infiltration by reducing air leakage.
- SPF adds structural strength to walls and ceilings.
- SPF reduces sound transfer into buildings. Most sound from outsideis carried
into the building through cracks and air leaks. SPF, by stopping the air infiltration,
also helps keep sounds out.
- SPF minimizes dew point problems and condensation.
- SPF resists heat transfers through air infiltration regardless of flow direction.
- SPF provides reliable R-values under the most extreme conditions, and
dependable and durable protection against heat loss or gain.
- SPF minimizes thermal bridging, which can cause higher energy usage and cost.
- SPF out-performs conventional insulation materials because they
(conventional insulation materials) trap still-dry air and if that air moves
or becomes wet, the thermal resistance can drop by 50%.
- According to ASHRAE, a 3% void area in a wall cavity represents a 15% reduction in wall R-value.

The New Yorker was briefly banned from Facebook on Monday for posting a cartoon that ran afoul of Facebook's "Nudity and Sex" community standards, according to a post on The Cartoon Bureau. The offending cartoon shows Adam and Eve in repose under an apple tree, with Eve stating, "Well, it was original."
The page, which has over 500,000 likes, was taken down Monday because of the cartoon showing the two Bible characters, or more specifically, their nipples. Robert Mankoff, the cartoon editor at The New Yorker (a sister publication of Ars), posted two closeups of the offending dots, which bear remarkable similarity to two other, non-offending dots in the cartoon.
Mankoff cites Facebook's guidelines for nudity-related bans posted by Gawker, which even go so far as to cover clothed "female nipple bulges" (not featured in the controversial cartoon). The guidelines specify that "male nipples are ok," but do not address the matter of artistic renderings.
The Facebook page has since been restored, though the cartoon is no longer posted—a shame, as it's one of many where the catchall caption "Christ, what an asshole" fits. That battle over, Facebook may now be able to refocus efforts combating the actual, serious problem of the proliferation of child porn on the social network.

Naples to approve interim superintendent
The Naples Board of Education plans to approve Gary T. Mix as the district's interim superintendent at its board meeting Wednesday.
Superintendent Kimberle Ward announced the board's plan in a release Friday. Pending formal board approval Jan. 22, Mix will be interim superintendent from Feb. 10 through June 30, 2014, stated Ward, who was named superintendent in the Gates-Chili Central School District. Ward's last day in Naples is Feb. 7.
Married with two adult sons, Mix lives in Geneseo where he graduated from the Geneseo Central School District before pursuing a career in public education. His experience during more than 40 years in the field includes as a teacher, coach, athletic director, assistant principal, principal and superintendent of schools.
Mix was superintendent in the Pembroke Central School District for nearly 10 years and most recently worked in the Oswego City School District as its interim superintendent.
"I am very pleased and excited to become a part of the Naples Central School District educational community," stated Mix. "I look forward to meeting and working with the students, teachers, staff, administration, and Board of Education to continue the pride, tradition and expectation of excellence that is evident within the district and community."
"I recognize the need for effective and respectful stewardship of district and community resources and will work to ensure we continue to effectively address needs."
"My entire experience in public education has helped to prepare me for this position. As a graduate of Geneseo Central School I was the beneficiary of the dedication and expertise of outstanding teachers and coaches. As a teacher, coach, athletic director, assistant principal and principal I understand many of the same challenges and realized many of the gratifying experiences that educators in this position appreciate and value. I value the many experiences in which you see students develop goals and accomplish them. I understand the importance of public education and how it can change the trajectory of so many lives.

Charita Goshay: 'Celebrity' tag makes mockery of tragedy
Even in this selfie-snapping, you're-special culture of ours, reports that acquitted murder suspect George Zimmerman has signed on with a promoter to take part in "celebrity" boxing matches are disconcerting on so many levels, it's hard to know where to begin.
Perhaps this works as a starting point:
It's been clear for some time that what now qualifies as celebrity has very little to do with talent, pluck, drive, ambition, or any of those other Broadway-baby adjectives.
Who needs Shirley Temple when you have a Honey Boo Boo?
Apparently, to be famous today, you need only to wait your turn. So much the better if you're willful, reckless and narcissistic.
There were initial reports that Zimmerman would fight troubled rap artist DMX, who has been in more sets of handcuffs than Harry Houdini.
The match was spiked, probably because even DMX, in his mad genius, produces a form of art and has a brand to protect.
Classifying Zimmerman as a "celebrity" because of his fatal run-in with a teenager and his subsequent domestic violence arrests defies decency.
But this isn't really about decency, is it?
That Zimmerman would consider cashing in on his infamy, rather than try to rebuild a private life, is, for many people, like a thumb in the eye. It diminishes a tragedy that laid bare racial, political and class resentments that lashed us all like an arcing wire.
It also showed how the consequences of our blunders can reach far into our lives. When George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, two lives were destroyed that night. But the idea that Zimmerman now is some kind of "celebrity" because of it, and his spectacularly bad decision to make money from it, couldn't be more egregious.
Such spectacle conveys the message that what happened was no biggie.
Some of the fault for this tawdry turn of events must be laid at our feet. We feed and foster faux celebrity whenever we give time and attention to people who've done nothing of value to earn it.
Fame is seductive because it promises that our life's path will be made easier. We hold the famous in higher regard than people we know, which only encourages ordinary people to wallow in audacious and base behavior in the hopes that they, too, will become objects of our affection.
There's no end to what people will do to be famous. If Zimmerman is really looking for a fight, "Octomom" could always use a paycheck.

Curie fends off Joliet West
The dunk is about all that people were talking about after the third quarterfinal game of the 82nd Pontiac Holiday Tournament. Morris Dunnigan's power jam over Curie's Cliff Alexander brought the crowd to its feet and brought Joliet West into a tie with the third-seeded Condors.
But in the end, it was Alexander and his teammates that prevailed. Curie moved into the semifinal round with a 62-54 win over the Tigers.
The Condors had seemingly sapped the energy out of Joliet West in the first half after taking a 34-20 advantage at the break. But the Tigers were not ready to close up shop at the midway point.
Led by Dunnigan, Joliet West battled back to not only get back into contention, but to take the lead in the third period.
The highlight was "the dunk." Dunnigan flew over the 6-foot-9 Alexander and delivered a powerful throw down that tied the game at 41-41 and sent the half-filled gymnasium into a euphoric uproar.
Joliet West added two free throws from Ryan Modiest moments later to give the Tigers a 43-41 lead.
"We told the guys at halftime it was going to be a game of momentums but we didn't think they would go on a 19-2 run like they did," Curie head coach Michael Oliver said. "That's a good ballclub. We came out thinking the game was over and they took advantage of that."
Curie regrouped and was able to slow thing down. The Condors retook the lead and built on it in the fourth period.
"We had to slow it up and remind them who the main man on the team is and get Cliff Alexander involved," Oliver said. "Once we go inside, it frees up the pressure on the outside."
Alexander finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds for Curie. Joshua Stamps added 16 points and Marcellis Davis had 8.
Dunnigan finished with 25 points for the Tigers. Modiest had 12 points and Carl Terrell scored 10.
Curie will meet the winner of the Simeon-Bloomington game in Saturday's second semifinal. Joliet West gets the loser in the fifth-place bracket.

Halloween haters land on the Ridiculist. Apparently we now live in a world where you're not allowed to writhe around in short-shorts and stripper boots at a family-friendly pumpkin patch.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Courtney Stodden • The RidicuList
holy crow, AC is way too funny! I could listen for hours as he "waxes poetic" about this glorious union of these two classy folks.
This could be the funniest Anderson Cooper clip I have ever seen.
" Oh, Dear....Anderson this is quite funny..I love your sarcasm in this clip..Brilliant. My favorite is the Hutchison-Stodden remix. It is not because I am trying to judge them, It is great when people are in love. It is just those odd, silly faces she makes..How can I not laugh? It is so Odd! The remix was a great mix-up of some silly sarcasm and some even sillier mouth gestures..."
This made my NIGHT!!! Perhaps not as good as past references to the two love birds, but it's just great to see them still making the Rediculist. Have they tied crazy airport guy for number of times on? Rediculist staff, please keep up on these two, they must remain role models, I leave the viewers to decide of what!
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Rolling Stones rock small LA club ahead of tour
LOS ANGELES (AP) — For one night only, the Rolling Stones were an up-and-coming band again.
The legendary group rocked a small club in Los Angeles on Saturday night for a miniscule crowd compared to the thousands set to see them launch their "50 and Counting" anniversary tour a week later on May 3 at the Staples Center.
The band kicked off Saturday's hush-hush 90-minute concert at the Echoplex in the hip Echo Park neighborhood with "You Got Me Rocking" before catapulting into a mix of new and old material, as well as their bluesy covers of classics from Otis Redding ("That's How Strong My Love Is"), Chuck Berry ("Little Queenie") and The Temptations ("Just My Imagination").
"Welcome to Echo Park, a neighborhood that's always coming up — and I'm glad you're here to welcome an up-and-coming band," lead singer Mick Jagger joked after the second song of the evening, "Respectable."
Despite clocking in several decades as a band, Jagger, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood showed no signs of slowing down Saturday.
Jagger, who promptly ditched a black-and-white track jacket emblazoned with the band's logo after the first few songs, worked the crowd into a sing-a-long frenzy with "Miss You," complete with a harmonica solo from the strutting frontman.
Tickets to the Echoplex concert were sold earlier in the day for $20 each — a fraction of what tickets to the tour cost.
Hundreds of fans lined up outside the El Rey Theatre across town earlier Saturday for a chance to attend the spontaneous show. Buyers were limited to one ticket, and they were required to pay with cash, show a government-issued ID, wear a wristband with their name on it and be photographed. Their names were verified at the venue, which has a capacity of about 700.
Cameras and smartphones weren't allowed inside the Echoplex, which usually plays host to hipster bands and mash-up dance parties. The lack of personal recording devices made the Stones' performance feel even more exclusive and old school, freeing concertgoers' hands of the gizmos that have become commonplace at concerts nowadays, and further bonding the crowd, many of whom built up camaraderie during the confusing ticket lottery earlier in the day.
Toward the end of Saturday's show, the band was joined by former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor for their version of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain," as well as "Midnight Rambler."
The band, which was backed by Darryll Jones on bass, Chuck Leavell on keys, Bobby Keys on sax and Bernard Fowler and Lisa Fischer as back-up singers, encored with the hits "Brown Sugar" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash."
"(This is) the first show of the tour, probably the best one," Jagger said at the end of the 90-minute set.
Bruce Willis, Gwen Stefani and Skrillex were among the famous faces in the sold-out crowd.
Rumors of the surprise show spread across social networks last week after the band teased the appearance on their Twitter accounts. The dance-pop band New Build, which was originally scheduled to play the Echoplex on Saturday, was first to leak details about the performance.
"Our gig got shifted b/c the Rolling Stones are playing Echoplex," the band posted Friday on Twitter. They joked that they were looking forward to "having it out" with the Stones.
The Rolling Stones performed a few dates together in London, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Newark, N.J., last winter, but didn't announce a tour until earlier this month. They will play 17 dates in the United States but said they may add more down the line. The lowest price for tickets to the show at the Staples Center, which has a capacity of about 20,000, is $250.

I've finally recovered from fourth year enough that I feel like coding a serious personal project again. That project is a turn-based tabletop game I'm adapting to code, I'll go into more detail about it later. For the interface, I want to do an Ajax-powered web app, and I'm using Michael Snoyman's excellent Haskell web framework, Yesod, to make that happen.
There's Ajax support built into Yesod, but nothing for push updates sent to clients. In order to prove that Yesod (and I) were up to the job, I wrote a basic many-user chat room app. It uses the fairly standard hack for Ajax push: clients send a dummy request and the server just leaves the connection open, and uses the response as a form of push.
The code, both the Haskell and the Javascript (uses jQuery), follows. I'm not going to bother explaining how Yesod works, Michael Snoyman has already done an excellent job of that at docs.yesodweb.com. This is basically a combination of the Ajax and "Chat" (really a message board) tutorials from there. The only tricky part is that the site argument, a read-only parameter passed to request handlers by Yesod, contains a couple of TVars that hold one duplicate of a single TChan for each client (
dupTChan is awesome for this kind of independent-read/broadcast-write application).
Clients send an Ajax request to post a message, of course, but they also make a check-in request. That handler (
getCheckR) finds that client's TChan and blocks until data is available on it, which it then sends to the client. The clients displays it and makes another check-in request.
That leads me to my question to my readers: The Javascript function
checkIn makes an Ajax request whose callback calls
checkIn again. Is that a safe thing to do? Does it leak stack frames? It depends, I suppose, on the internals of jQuery's implementation, and possibly on the Javascript engine. If anyone could enlighten me, I would be very grateful.
Edit: You may have noticed that WordPress mangled the code below. It's also out of date with the modern versions of Yesod. A cleaned up and modernized version of my code can be found in the yesod-examples package.
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell, QuasiQuotes, TypeFamilies #-} module Main where import Yesod import Yesod.Helpers.Static import Control.Concurrent.STM import Control.Concurrent.STM.TChan import Control.Concurrent.STM.TVar import Control.Arrow ((***)) -- speaker and content data Message = Message String String -- all those TChans are dupes, so writing to any one writes to them all, but reading is separate data Chat = Chat { chatClients :: TVar [(Int, TChan Message)] , nextClient :: TVar Int , chatStatic :: Static } staticFiles "static" mkYesod "Chat" [$parseRoutes| / HomeR GET /check CheckR GET /post PostR GET /static StaticR Static chatStatic |] instance Yesod Chat where approot _ = "" defaultLayout content = hamletToContent [$hamlet| !!! %html %head %title $pageTitle.content$ %script!src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" %email@example.com_js@ ^pageHead.content^ %body ^pageBody.content^ |] getHomeR :: Handler Chat RepHtml getHomeR = do Chat clients next _ <- getYesod client <- liftIO . atomically $ do c <- readTVar next writeTVar next (c+1) cs <- readTVar clients chan newTChan (_,x):_ -> dupTChan x writeTVar clients ((c,chan) : cs) return c applyLayout "Chat Page" mempty [$hamlet| !!! %h1 Chat Example %form %textarea!cols=80!rows=20!name=chat %p %input!type=text!size=15!name=name#name %input!type=text!size=60!name=send#send %input!type=submit!value=Send var clientNumber = $show client$ |] getCheckR :: Handler Chat RepJson getCheckR = do liftIO $ putStrLn "Check" Chat clients _ _ <- getYesod client <- do c invalidArgs ["No client value in Check request"] Just c' -> return $ read c' cs <- liftIO . atomically $ readTVar clients chan invalidArgs ["Bad client value"] Just ch -> return ch -- block until there's something there first <- liftIO . atomically $ readTChan chan let Message s c = first jsonToRepJson $ zipJson ["sender", "content"] [s,c] zipJson x y = jsonMap $ map (id *** (jsonScalar.string)) $ zip x y getPostR :: Handler Chat RepJson getPostR = do liftIO $ putStrLn "Post" Chat clients _ _ <- getYesod (sender,content) <- do s <- lookupGetParam "name" c return (s', c') _ -> invalidArgs ["Either name or send not provided."] liftIO . atomically $ do cs <- readTVar clients let chan = snd . head $ cs -- doesn't matter which one we use, they're all duplicates writeTChan chan (Message sender content) jsonToRepJson $ jsonScalar (string "success") main :: IO () main = do clients <- newTVarIO [] next <- newTVarIO 0 let static = fileLookupDir "static" typeByExt basicHandler 3000 $ Chat clients next static
And the JS, which must be called
static/chat.js to be loaded properly.
$(document).ready(function () { $("form").submit(function (e) { e.preventDefault(); $.getJSON("/post", { name: $("#name").attr("value"), send: $("#send").attr("value") }, function(o) { }); $("#send").attr("value", ""); }); checkIn(); }); function checkIn () { $.getJSON("/check", { client: clientNumber }, function(o) { //alert("response: " + o); var ta = $("textarea"); ta.html(ta.html() + o.sender + ": " + o.content + "\n"); ta.scrollTop(10000); checkIn(); }); }

It's well-known that Steve Jobs put off surgery to treat his pancreatic cancer for nine months after it was diagnosed in 2003. Instead, he attempted to treat it with alternative therapies before electing to have a Whipple procedure in 2004. Now his biographer Walter Isaacson tells CBS show 60 Minutes that Apple's iconic CEO regretted not having the surgery earlier:
"I've asked [Jobs why he didn't get an operation then] and he said, "I didn't want my body to be opened...I didn't want to be violated in that way," Isaacson recalls. So he waited nine months, while his wife and others urged him to do it, before getting the operation, reveals Isaacson. Asked by Kroft how such an intelligent man could make such a seemingly stupid decision, Isaacson replies, "I think that he kind of felt that if you ignore something, if you don't want something to exist, you can have magical thinking...we talked about this a lot," he tells Kroft. "He wanted to talk about it, how he regretted it....I think he felt he should have been operated on sooner."
Isaacson also reveals that Jobs continued to receive treatment for the cancer while maintaining he had been cured of the condition to Apple employees.
The 60 Minutes interview with Isaacson will air Sunday, October 23 at 7pm EDT. Isaacson's book, Steve Jobs will hit store shelves on Monday, October 24, and the Ars review of the book will be up shortly thereafter, so keep an eye out for it.
